I cant start my mower! Tried everything!?

My mower starts and then dies when I prime it. It seems like it runs of the fuel that I use to prime it. Its got a 2006 Teseh with the chokeless carb(it bypes to the block) I know Im getting spark but cant keep this thing running. Its getting fuel to the bowl no problem because when i pull the bowl off and let the float drop the fuel comes pouring out if I dont pinch the fuel line. The choke byp hose had some damage to it which I repaired and confirmed that the hose that hooks to the carb is getting suction. I removed the carb and cleaned everything out and made sure I could get fluid into the center of the carb through the jet and made sure the bolt that feeds the fuel is clean and can allow free flow of fuel. Ive also replaced the spark plug and air filter for good measure. I'm at a loss.
